Kameo Elements of Power was a fantastic game with a very original and enjoyable premise. (You turn into other characters to solve puzzles.)
Viva Pinata I had to ban myself from ever playing again due to how addictive it became, once I decided to play for an hour... Didn't realize the sun was coming up 12 hours later.
And Banjo Kazooi Nuts and Bolts, whilst it did lower the emphasis on platforming... I enjoyed it's building mechanics.
Perfect Dark: Zero didn't live up to the original (Which let's be brutally honest, it's a stupidly impossible task) and I disliked the voice acting, graphics were fairly decent at the time as well.
It was an average game, nothing ground breaking.
The Kinect games were just shovel-ware and ironically, their best selling efforts in recent memory.
Killer Instinct, whilst not entirely made by Rare, but using Rare's I.P. Was probably one of the greatest fighting games of this entire generation and is one of the bright spots for the Xbox One.
I am actually looking forward to Sea of Thieves.
So far, I have bought every Rare game on Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox One and I have been fairly pleased about it overall... Many of the games could have probably done better financially if Microsoft gave the games a better advertising budget.
Would Rare have been better with Nintendo? Well. That's hard to say, if Nintendo bought Rare and Rare didn't bleed employee's, then yes, they probably would have been better.
But then again, Rare might have just been tasked building games based around Nintendo's I.P rather than bringing us something new.
